According to the latest Yardi Matrix Multifamily Report, the average U.S. rent in August was $1,463, up $1 from July with year-over-year rent growth remaining at -0.3% (same as July). However, they point our that larger markets are a drag on the rest:
“On a year-over-year basis, national rents declined by 0.3%. But that is not to say that all markets are performing poorly.
